IJ00le,l Costumes.

Wooden costumes are trimmed with
wide and with narrow galloons. There
are many kinds of GALLONS, favorite
style being combinations of light
WOODEN tissue, gold, silver, bronze, or
steel metal. Steel is moro favored than
other metals There are also mohair
and velvet GALLONS, which are either
plain or worked with silk, worsted or
beads. This trimming is arranged on
the lower part OF the skirts in wheel
shaped designs, or it forms rows one
above the other. Narrow galloons
serve for trimming waists, guimpes or
vests, and the yokes of blouses. These
GALLONS also form lengthwise panels
down the sides of the skirts, when the
overdress or polonaise opens to show
this trimming. Many polonaises are
worn over skirts made in this manner.
Sometimes the skirt is plain, and the
polonaise has designs, checks, etc
Waists in blouse style are plated or
gathered. They produce the effect Of
being loose, but they are made over
tight lifting Innings.

numerous grandchildren. The Queen has
seven living children, thirty-one grand
